For some of these guys this is their whole life. I'm not talking about Indian up-loaders making a few bucks from downloads, I am talking about early to mid twenties white males from countries like the UK, Australia and USA, often on welfare, more often living at home, spending their entire day ripping, uploading and watching content and using the money they earn from uploading to fund various hobbies such as smoking dope or buying a new video card for their gaming system.
Taking the money away from piracy sites causes them to fail eventually, we now have 56 sites completely shut down. We have others which are either resorting to shaving more money from affiliate up-loaders or who are floundering and at risk of falling over. Up-loaders to some of these sites are in despair, the posts on some of the forums show that for a few users of these sites it's as if their whole world has fallen apart.
We are trying to unravel many years of unchecked piracy, in three months we've caused absolute mayhem for the file locker community and our best work is still in front of us.
